Ray, George and all:

Free from B Gas today I received a power saver which, once set up, will shut
down whatever is plugged into 4 of the six sockets, when the infra-red
remote control is activated and vice versa.
This strikes me  that it could be more effective!

Hi Ray,

 

Their web site makes the statement, “Lowest standby power of just 0.4 of a
watt saving an average 35 watts per hour depending on the number of
connected peripherals. This product can pay for itself in less than a year
of use!”.

 

To me this is akin to these ISP comments about broadband speed when they say
“Up to 8 megabtyes” – emphasis on the “Up to”.

 

So how does one define “depending on the number of peripherals”?

 

Call me a “Tight fisted Jock”, but what’s wrong with a simple multi-plug
extension cable, and hitting the power switch to that after you power off?
Standby power is then zero.

 

George.

Subject: [access-uk] Anyone using Intellipanel?

 

This afternoon I saw a power strip that turns off computer periferals
automatically when you turn off your PC  thus claiming to save power
"intelligently".  Anyone used one of these?  There's an Intelliplug too for
powering just two devices as opposed to the seven the Intellipanel handles.
My only quible is that in standby mode the device itself consumes, if my
calculations are correct, 100 watts or so.  that's quite a lot so I wonder
what with the cost of buying the unit and running it whether savings are
that great.
